Midway Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Recently I stumbled upon pictures of the throwback uniforms Colorado wore in 2009 and remembered how much I loved the horned helmets so I wanted to create a set with them in mind, while also giving the Buffaloes a simple, iconic look. I tried to emphasize a few elements similar to those from the Dan Hawkins era while keeping the identity clean to make the the uniforms distinct from Army.It's not too busy but I feel I can incorporate stripes and more silver into it, especially on the away. Any thoughts on how to do so are welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucknut40 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I like the silver font on black...and the gold helmet and horns looks shop much better than silver #RaiderUpTwitter-@R_Redinger4 My Blog-Southwest Ohio Football NCFAF-Wheeling Coal Miners,NCFAF-FCS Lake Erie Shoremen, NCFAB-Wheeling Coal Miners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespleenenator Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Put some silver on other parts of the uniform and you're good.I would like silver pants. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character.

Kevin W. Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I don't like the shade of gold. Vegas gold would look so much better.

DeFrank Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The wordmark next to the italic numbers looks awful. Other then that, good work. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbannon92 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I really like where this is going. The helmet looks great, and as bucknut said, the gold with the horns really works. I like the simplicity of the jersey and pants as well, and the silver on the home is a nice touch. There are a couple things to improve on though. I'm with CRichardson on the shade of gold, and I feel like the numbers are a little too italic. I would also change the belt on the road set to black.Put some silver on other parts of the uniform and you're good.I would like silver pants.Don't do this. Gold, black/white, silver would look awful. Nike + CFL 2015 | 2015-16 NBA Concepts | Complete College Football Redesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midway Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Here's a quick revision. Looks good to me but now I think Army when I see it. I don't know whether it needs more silver, or some kinda striping. Originally I wanted to try a ruffed bison mane around the shoulders kinda like the Ducks wings but that would be veering off the lasting look I was aiming for. Thoughts?

mbannon92 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The new pants scream Iowa, and the color mix is kinda Purdue-ish.But Iowa wears yellow pants and Colorado and Purdue have the same colors. When you have 120 teams there's gonna be similarities between schools. At least Colorado isn't in the same conference as those two teams.

andrewharrington Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Ditch the gold cuffs and collar, then add a silver stripe design to the socks.

Midway Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 It's been some time but I decided to continue this thread under a new name. So let's get started There's been some speculation that the Seahawks will be reverting back to silver helmets during the 2012-13 season with Nike taking over the uniforms leaguewide. Using colors from some logos I've seen I came up with a set which I think could be similar to what they might actually be sporting next season. This concept in particular took me a really long time to finish up but I think I've settled on something solid here. I'd still like to leave this design open to suggestion to make this work more cohesively with what they've worn in the past so c&c much appreciated. If this set perseveres I'll add a neon green alternate. Possibly faux-back style... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 All of those colors work so great together. I initially didn't like the sound of navy, silver, and lime green together, but it looks fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't approve of gradients of any kind, so the numbers are out, but yes - this is a great foundation. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

The silver isn't crazy, the navy is a great base colour, and the neon green just pops.And I took the number gradients to mean they were shiny/metallic. I have no opposition to that with the silver numbers. Hamilton Eagles- 2012 and 2013 Continental Hockey League Champions! 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2015 CHL East Division Champions!
